I regret watching it so much... Hey, when you're my age or Republican, that's all you got.

I read an explanation of this somewhere, and my recollection is (something to the effect) that the crime of prostitution entails solicited performance for valuable consideration (pay) of a sexual act with another person for the gratification of said other person. (e.g. I solicit someone to perform a sexual act for my prurient gratification)

Performing in porn is not a crime when the solicited performance is intended for the gratification of third parties, i.e. a paying audience. (e.g. porn company solicits multiple actors to perform sexual acts for filthy lucre and the prurient gratification of paying customers)

Choices have costs.
Not to be a jerk, but - aside for her skills as a porn star - do you actually know what here other skill sets are?

Should these men and women have recognized what they would unfairly face after being under the lights of a movie set, I suppose. Even though there is an increasing number of college students (see Belle Knox) entering the business most enter the business at a young age, making more money than they could at the local McDonald's. So there it is, folks entering in a legitimate line of work, then are stigmatized for life for having done so by the very folks who support the porn industry.
It would be nowhere near 90%. It is no longer the early 1980s, we live in a world of free porn now so a brand name is not needed on the box to sell a VHS tape and sex scenes are sold by catagory of acts and not by the actors doing them. Only the small percentage of superfan will look her up by name. She is only famous because a famous mainstream celebrity went for her otherwise she would be among the hundreds of thousands who signed a release to have videos of penetrative sex scenes released

She made $30,000 to $60,000 a month per the article. I am finding it difficult to feel sorry for her.

...and I ask why not.

At one time weren't blacks, gays and whatever in the same category for not being normal or accepted, plus years ago having a baby without being married...oh the horror!

Since being a porn star is legal, she should also be allowed whatever career she wants.

Agreed - if she is qualified, why not? The only people who recognize her are those who view porn so who are they to judge?

Popular and legal doesn't mean respectable, and respect still means something, so no, she really can't have any career she wants after working as a filmed prostitute. And she probably ought to have considered that before going into the business.
